Sinner aims to extend his perfect record against Mannarino in the Cincinnati fourth round.
Top seed Jannik Sinner will face qualifier Adrian Mannarino today in the Cincinnati Open 2025 fourth round. Sinner, fresh off a first-round bye, opened with a ruthless 59-minute crushing of Daniel Elahi Galan, dishing out double breadsticks, before dispatching 30th seed Gabriel Diallo in straight sets. Mannarino has carved his path the hard way, upsetting Jordan Thompson and 19th seed Tomas Machac in straight sets, then rallying past 13th seed Tommy Paul.

Sinner’s 2025 so far has been brilliant, even with a three-month doping suspension. Last month, he captured his first Wimbledon and fourth Grand Slam overall, defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the final. He began the year by winning the Australian Open over Alexander Zverev and made back-to-back finals in Rome and Roland Garros. His lone blip came in Halle, falling to Alexander Bublik. His numbers tell the story with 188 aces, a 78% first-serve win rate, 34% of return points won, and a sharp 45% break-point conversion on 273.

Across 2025, he’s struck 61 aces, winning 69% of first-serve points and 27% on first-serve returns, and converting 36% of 88 break points.
Jannik Sinner owns a commanding 3-0 head-to-head record over Adrian Mannarino, with all their meetings coming between 2020 and 2023.
